I love to create art to illuminate people's story's, I want to be able to tell any story with a camera and without words.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating visual and video art, specially cinematography and also have a love and passion for photography as well
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in narratives that illuminate the unseen and carry profound weight—the stories that rarely receive the spotlight they deserve. I am drawn to the "roughed-up" indie aesthetic, focusing on raw, authentic experiences that trade polished perfection for emotional depth. To me, storytelling is about uncovering meaning in the shadows and giving a voice to the gritty, complex archetypes that define our human experience.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put it towards school and paying off tuition I currently go to SCAD a current freshman and sophomore next year, and am studying film and television with a focus on cinematography so it would also help pay for my own equipment for films!
